Kyle Brossmann doesn’t even get a break-up letter from Morgan. She’s just gone, along with her parents. His heart broken, Kyle continues with his plans.

Paperback: $16.99

Publisher’s Description:

Olivia Dawson doesn’t make mistakes. Unless those mistakes are a tall, broad-shouldered, cocky baseball player named Devon Miller. Devon and Olivia have been competing in their engineering classes since freshman year, and he seems to want nothing more than to get under her skin and shake her confidence. Unless you count that one time when he got under more than just her skin…

Now, they’re pitted against each other for a coveted internship that could open tons of doors for each of them. Only one of them can win. And they’re both ready to fight dirty if they need to.

Could Devon be playing for more than just his own gain—could he be after her heart?

Olivia is about to find out.

Game on.

My Thoughts:

This book is not my usual read but since it included a back drop of baseball I was sure I would like it and even though baseball was only a small part of this story I still found it impossible to put down.

I really enjoyed Liv and Devon’s story. There is just enough of a sensual nature in spite of no actual sex that we come to expect it to happen around the corner or possibly on the next page. It becomes an expectation that never happens but it remains an eventuality.The only thing that may have made this book better is that one expected encounter.

I gave this book 4.25 of 5.0 stars for storyline and characterization and a sensual rating of 3 of 5 flames. The attraction between our hero and heroine is palpable.

I received a complimentary digital ARC copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley to read. This in no way affected my opinion of this book which I read and reviewed voluntarily.
